ICPC and ICD10 Searches

If you have ICPC2-Plus or ICD10-AM codes installed, searches are easier, faster and more accurate.

Note: While the following instructions have been written with reference to ICPC, the procedure is identical for ICD10 searches.

ICPC Search

To perform an ICPC search, open the Patients list (Open > Patients) and click on the ICPC Search button.

This will display the ICPC Search screen, below:

Example 1: Patients over the age of 40 with Insulin Dependent Diabetes

1.	Select the "Current Problems" table from the Table to Search popup menu in the top left of the screen.

2.	In the Keyword Search field, begin to enter "diabetes". You should notice that the field auto-completes.

3.	Press the TAB key on your keyboard. This will display all the relevant conditions and terms in a hierarchical list on the right, with major topics and subtopics.

4.	In this case we are searching on the major topic of "Diabetes, Insulin Dependent".

5.	In the Age Range fields, enter "40" for the bottom end of the range and "120" for the top end. This will ensure everyone over 40 is accounted for.

6.	Clicking the Query button will search the entire database of patients.

The list of patients over the age of 40 who have insulin dependent diabetes will be displayed in a patient list.

Note: Clicking the Query in Selection button will search amongst only those patients who are already displayed in the Patients list.

Note: Clicking the Show Exceptions checkbox will find patients over 40 who are not diabetics.

Example 2: Find diabetics who are not taking an "HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.

Following on from the last query:

1.	Click on the Rx Search button at the top of the Patients list.

2.	Click on the Class radio button and enter the brand name of a drug in the particular class eg. Zocor.

3.	Click OK and the class will now be entered in the Search for field.

Click the three checkboxes named Find all Strengths, Search Current Selection Only, and Find Exceptions. This instructs Genie to search only amongst the patients already displayed, and to search for those patients who are not taking the particular class of drug. Your search window should look like this:

Click Ok.

The list of patients from the last query will be refined to only include those patients not using HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.

Example 3: Find all patients over 65 who haven't had a pneumococcal vaccination in the past 5 years.
